* DogsHateSquirrels: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in "The Parrot Trap". In the episode, Ellen has been getting sick of [[TalkingAnimal Stan]] destroying all her stuff and feels he does because . In his defense, Avery brings up the idea that he might do it because he senses her general dislike for dogs which Stan then feels is as crazy as a dog not wanting to chase an arthritic squirrel.--> '''Avery''': Did you ever think that Stan doesn't like you because he senses that you don't like dogs?--> '''Stan (thoughts)''': Seriously? That's like saying you don't like joy or smiles or arthritic squirrels-- so easy to catch.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: In-universe. Chloe said that they would call her Rockstar Rabbit because of her lunchbox. Because last year she had a red lunchbox and everybody called her [[RedHeadedHero the little red girl.]]

* DoubleStandard: The first season had a bit of a problem with this. "Stan-ing Guard" had several female characters using a self defense move on guys who weren't even attacking them and being PlayedForLaughs. "The Truck Stops Here" had Chloe doing what her mom does (homemaker) and learning it was harder than she thought, which was fine until she tried doing what her father does (child psychologist) and performs it with ease. Thankfully, they removed this problem in the second season.

When Bennett and Ellen discover it in the series finale, they react the exact same way, complete with the clock shot.
